Airwars assessment

At dawn on Wednesday, October 18th, 2023, at least two people were reportedly killed and between seven and 13 people were injured, with four of them likely to have ended up in a coma, when a residential apartment in Hamad City in western Khan Yunis, in the south of the Gaza Strip, was reportedly bombed by an Israeli military aircraft.

Many sources, including @shehab Agency and Al-Sharq News reported that the bombing resulted in two deaths, but did not specify the number of people injured. Rose Life and Al Jazeera reported that seven people were injured, and Safa.ps, Hani Alshaer and @Alaqsavoice_Brk posted that thirteen people were injured, including four people who ended up in comas, who arrived at Nasser Hospital.

Multiple sources, including Shehab Agency, reported some of the injuries being critical and three sources, Safa.ps, Hani Alshaer and @Alaqsavoice_Brk, reported that four of the injured ended up in a coma. No sources specified whether these victims survived. Airwars will update this assessment if more information comes to light on their condition.

The Palestine Post and Hamad Residential City posts included multiple images of the destroyed residential apartments and damaged residential blocks. Nabd.com described the damage as significant, Palestine Post described there being “major damage” to the residential area and @ayman9323 stated that six apartments were damaged as a result of the bombing. Hamad Residential City reported that the apartment block was tower F4.

Where sources identified a belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to Israeli forces.

Due to the scale and urgency of Airwars’ assessment process, all images have been automatically uploaded to each assessment with the graphic filter applied to protect users. We have also included all images identified from the sources, which may also include any imagery of combatants.

The incident occured around dawn.

Airwars assessment

On October 18th 2023, at around 5.15am, an alleged Israeli airstrike hit the Labad family home near the Yarmouk Mosque, east of Jabalia Camp in Gaza. A number of deaths and injuries were reported, including several women and children. However, the precise number remains unknown as many victims were reported as still missing beneath the rubble. The victims have not been identified.

At 5.17am Shehab Agency reported ‘martyrs and wounded when occupation aircraft bombed a house for the Labad family near the Yarmouk Mosque in Gaza.’ Several other news outlets subsequently reported the same incident, mentioning killed and wounded victims, including women and children.

In videos and photos shared online, children are shown trapped beneath the rubble, dozens of people surround the victims trying to dig them out and others lift the collapsed building in search of other victims.  In a video shared by @SbintQtr, a young boy, buried chest deep in rubble, gestures in distress towards the camera as he, helped by those around him, tries to get out. The comment alongside the video reads ‘‘the moment a child was rescued from under the rubble after the occupation bombed a house for the Labad family east of the Jabalia camp, leaving a number of martyrs and injuries at dawn today.’

On the 19th October, the day after the incident, several users on social media reported that a number of victims were still beneath the rubble. @Alaqsavoice_Brk tweeted ‘there are a number of citizens under the rubble.’ Facebook user Anas also reported that ‘the search for missing persons is still ongoing.’

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.

Due to the scale and urgency of Airwars’ assessment process, all images have been automatically uploaded to each assessment with the graphic filter applied to protect users. We have also included all images identified from the sources, which may also include any imagery of combatants.

The incident occured at approximately 5:15 am local time.

Airwars assessment

On the afternoon of Wednesday, October 18th 2023, several children were reportedly killed and injured when an alleged Israeli airstrike hit the Hammad family home in the Al-Alami neighborhood in the Jabalia camp, in the north of the Gaza Strip. The precise number of victims remains unknown and the victims have not yet been identified.

On October 18th 2023, the Information Office of the Palestinian Ministry of the Interior and National Security reported on X/Twitter that the Hamad family home had been destroyed and a number of children had been killed in an incident that afternoon.

Many sources reported this incident including the Palestinian news agency Safa and the Palestinian Ministry of the Interior. Almost all sources repeated the same quote from the original post by the Palestinian Ministry of the Interior, with the exception of Al-Weeaam News Agency which used different language when it reported the incident on its website. In line with Airwars methodology, the civilian harm status of this incident has been assessed to be “Fair” because more than one source reported the incident with sufficiently different information. Three sources, Abdulrahman al Abaldeh, the Palestinian Ministry of the Interior and the Palestinian Information Centre posted multiple different photos of the incident on Facebook and X/Twitter.

Several news outlets and journalists shared images depicting Emergency Medical Services pulling up severely injured children from beneath the rubble. One image depicted the acute infrastructural damage caused by the attack, which completely collapsed the multi story building.

@aa_arabic shared a video on X/Twitter of Emergency Medical teams rushing dust covered children from an ambulance into a crowded hospital to receive treatment. The comment read “A new massacre in #Khan Yunis against the Hammad family, the majority of whom are children”. This source may not have referred to this incident as it described the incident taking place in Khan Yunis, which is a city in the southern Gaza Strip.

All sources reference “a number” of people were killed, “a majority” of whom were children; but the precise number is unclear. Images of the incident posted on X/Twitter and Facebook by Abdulrahman al Abaldeh, the Palestinian Ministry of the Interior and the Palestinian Information Centre show at least three different children who had been harmed.

Both the Palestinian Ministry of the Interior and Al-Waaeem news agency reported that the incident was caused by an Israeli Military aircraft.

Due to the scale and urgency of Airwars’ assessment process, all images have been automatically uploaded to each assessment with the graphic filter applied to protect users. We have also included all images identified from the sources, which may also include any imagery of combatants.

The incident occured in the afternoon.

Airwars assessment

Around 11:15 in the morning of Wednesday, 18th October 2023, Israeli forces allegedly conducted an airstrike on the Haboush family home located behind al-Shifa medical hospital near the Gaza port, in the north of the Gaza Strip, killing at least 32 identified members of the extended Haboush family, including at least nine women and at least 18 children. The strike reportedly killed up to 40 family members and injured dozens of them. Among the victims killed in the deadly strike were two mothers, each of whom was killed alongside her five children.

Initial reports by Shehab Agency and Safa News stated that between 12 and 18 members of the Haboush family were killed in the airstrike, with dozens more remaining missing under the rubble. Numerous images have been shared by Awdeh Channel and Facebook user Paradise, depicting the completely destroyed building and a rescue operation in search for those trapped under the rubble. Al Arabiya Palestine and Khabar24 shared heartbreaking videos showing the attempts to rescue people from the rubble. General Directorate of Military Medical Services shared images of the ambulance and emergency crews in dealing with the martyrs and injured where injured people on strechers can be seen.

A social media testimony by Haboush family on Facebook helped to identify 32 family members killed in the strike, sharing images of some of the victims.

A 66-year old grandfather of the Haboush family, Suleiman Naaman Rabah Haboush, and his 62-year old wife Ibtisam Arslan Salem Haboush were killled alongside their four sons and three daughters as well as grandchildren.

Heba Suleiman Haboush, a surviving daughter of Suleiman Haboush, said in a Facebook post in reference to her father:  “May God have mercy on you, dear. May God have mercy on you, Hanoun. I am proud to be your daughter. God bears witness that you have been the best father, husband, and brother. You gave everything to serve your religion and your country. Praise be to God for having the honor of being a martyr.” She also shared an image of an elderly man with a grey beard in a traditional Muslim attire.

Suleiman and Ibtisan’s eldest 33-year old son Musab Suleiman Naaman Haboush was killed along with his wife, a 30-year old  Lubna Ahmed Hamdi Haboush (Al-Naji), and their 8-year old son Suleiman Musab Suleiman Haboush. A younger son, a 29-year old Izz al-Din (Azzedine) Suleiman Naaman Haboush, was killed alongside his wife Makram Khalifa and their 2-year old son Zakaria Azzeddine Suleiman Haboush. Their other son Suleiman Ezz El-Din Haboush survived the attack and was injured.

The deadly strike also took the lives of a 20-year old son of Suleiman and Ibtisan, Abdul Rahman Suleiman Naaman Habous, their 16-year old son, Muhammad Suleiman Naaman Haboush, and their three daughters – 22-year old Sandus Suleiman Naamn Haboush, Islam Suleiman Haboush, and 27-year old Walaa Suleiman Naaman Haboush. Their grandchildren, a 7-year old girl, Sareen Naaman Suleiman Haboush, a girl, Malak and a boy, Alyan Al-Ashqar were also killed.

The late Islam Suleiman Haboush used to be a researcher, and Hala Khaled dedicated a Facebook tribute to her, sharing an image of woman in white burqa presenting in front of a notebook. Islam contributed to writing a book “Popular Resistance” published by Dar Al-Muqtasab.

The strike mostly took lives of women and children, including two mothers, each of whom was killed alongside her five children.

A 33-year old, Shaima Raed Mahmoud Haboush al-Amiri, was killed alongside her three sons: Osama Noman Suleiman Haboush (15), Suleiman Noman Suleiman  Haboush (13), and Ibrahim Noman Suleiman Haboush (10) as well as her two daughters, Maria Noman Suleiman Haboush (9) and Fatima Noman Suleiman Haboush (2).

One more mother,  Amina Ahmed Haboush al-Amri, was killed alongside her son Saleh Noman Haboush (8), and four daughters – Cyrine Noman Haboush, Ibtisam Noman Suleiman Haboush (3),  Bilsan Noman Haboush (2), and Marwa Noman Rabah Haboush.

The deadly airstrike took the lives of three young siblings, a 7-year old boy, Abdul Rahman Mahmoud Naeem Haboush, and his two sisters, a 15-year old Dima Mahmoud Naeem Haboush and a 10-year old Talin Mahmoud Naeem Haboush.

Last but not least, a 22-year old woman, Jennat Zaki Youssef Haboush, was mentioned among the killed victims.

According to the post by Heba Suleiman Haboush, the only survivor of the bombing of the house was the young boy Suleiman Ezz El-Din Haboush who can be seen on the attached image with a bandage covering his head and an injured eye. Heba also shared the heartbreaking videos showing the funeral of Haboush family members as well as their bodies wrapped in white cloth stained with blood.

Dozens of others were reported wounded. A video shared by Khaled Safi on the social media platform Twitter/X showed a crying injured girl with her face and clothes covered in dust and stained with blood. The video is captioned “A survivor from the rubble of the Haboush family home, which was recently targeted by [Israeli] aircraft”.

Later, Twitter/X  user @alsha_mi reported about 40 killed members of the Hanoush family, referring to her friend based in Gaza: “Muhammad Haboush, my friend from Gaza, I have been communicating with him every day since the beginning of the bombing. Today they were bombed in Gaza and 40 martyrs from the Haboush family died… Can you imagine the number 40 martyrs from the family who were martyred in an instant.”

Where possible, names have been matched with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of fatalities in Gaza released on October 26th, 2023.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces. According to the Facebook post by Haboush family, the attack happened without any prior warning.

Due to the scale and urgency of Airwars’ assessment process, all images have been automatically uploaded to each assessment with the graphic filter applied to protect users. We have also included all images identified from the sources, which may also include any imagery of combatants.

The incident occured at approximately 11:15 am local time.

Airwars assessment

On 18 October 2023, 11 people were killed and 13 people were injured when an alleged Israeli airstrike hit the home of the Al-Harazin family on Al-Sikka Street, near Al-Sadiqin Mosque in Al-Zaytoun neighbourhood, east of Gaza City.

The attack was reported by Palinfo on Twitter/X, via a post stating that a warplane had bombed the home causing deaths and multiple injuries. A post from Facebook user Nedal Nayef claimed that 13 people had been injured. More details on the exact location and victims of the attack were posted via family and friends on Facebook.

Nephews, friends and other family members of the Al-Harazin family posted on social media mourning the loss of 11 people in the attack. Riyad Muhammad al-Harazin and his wife, referred to only as Umm Muhammad, were killed in the attack on their home, alongside their daughter Najma Riad al-Harazin, and two sons Abdul Hadi Riyad al-Harazin and Muhammad Riyad al-Harazin. Abdul’s daughter Sadan Abboud al-Harazin died alongside her father, while Muhammad’s wife Fidaa Khaled al-Harazin and their son Abdul Rahman Muhammad al-Harazin were also reportedly killed in the airstrike. Riyad’s granddaughter was also allegedly killed in the attack but was not named. Anwar Shuwaikh al-Harazin and her daughter (unnamed) were also reported amongst those killed by the alleged Israeli airstrike on the home. Esraa al-Hazareen took to Facebook to lament those still believed under rubble: “My uncle’s wife and daughter Najma are still under the rubble. Their bodies have not been found.”

User @az_za98 posted on Twitter/X, claiming that two people were rescued from the rubble of the home but it is unclear from the tweet if they survived the attack or not. Based on posts from various family members on Facebook, as many as four children may have been killed in this attack, although the exact ages of those killed are unclear.

The house was left in pieces, with nephew Mohammad Ramy posting on Facebook that it had been “completely blown up.” The family, he said, was “in crisis.”

Airwars was not able to match any of the names of victims with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of nearly 7000 victims’ names, age and ID numbers released on October 26th.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to the Israeli military.

Airwars assessment

On the evening of Wednesday, October 18th, 2023, a 14 year old child was killed and four other civilian members of the Abu Shaaban family were injured, including a 9 year old child and a young man who is a US citizen, in an alleged Israeli airstrike on the Tel Hawa residential neighborhood in the vicinity of the University College and the Salah Badawi Mosque, in west Gaza City.

According to the Guardian and Ultra Sawt news, the Abu Shaaban family, one of whom is 18 year old Yousof Abu Shaaban, a citizen of the USA and born in Michigan, fled their home in Gaza City to the southern regions on 14 October 2023 in an attempt to evacuate via the Rafah border, designated as “the only exit point out of Gaza into Egypt.” After waiting for several days at the crossing which remained closed, the family were left with no choice but to return to their home in Gaza – after this, the 14 year old Joud Abu Shaaban was killed in the bombing on their neighborhood, which a source on social media described as “insane and indiscriminate bombing.”

Joud’s father, Abedalazeez Abu Shaaban (45) who is visually impaired, her mother Jamila (42), and her older brother, Yousof Abu Shaaban, sustained heavy injuries, while her younger sister, 9 year old Jihan Abu Shaaban, lost an arm in the bombing. Sources on local and social media corroborated this information, including Shehab Agency, al Arabiya Palestine, Gaza News Now, Gaza Live, the Palestinian Information Center and al Jazeera, with images of the injured Yousef shared holding his American passport. Sources also posted videos of the bombings, with Gaza Live sharing footage of a house bombed “near al-Quds hospital”, and al Jazeera revealing footage of an explosion near the hospital. It is unclear whether this was the home of the Abu Shaaban family.

The family was treated at al-Shifa hospital where they remained for close to two weeks, before moving to al-Ahli hospital, where Jamila had shrapnel removed from her leg and the rest of the family underwent surgery. A surgeon who treated Jihan there is quoted by the Guardian as describing her arm “like a shark took a bite out of it and took the bone and nerves and tendons.” Yousof recorded a heart-rending video of himself and posted it to social media, asking, “Where is this country that should protect me?” His interview with Al Jazeera has him confirming the death of his sister and the injuries of his family, saying, “What did we do to deserve this? We are civilians, everyone here is civilians.” Yousef’s father Abedalazeez “studied at Western Michigan University and worked in the state for several years” according to Ultra Sawt. Yousef’s cousin Bahjat Abushaban in Michigan said he received news from other family members that doctors weren’t sure if they could perform surgery necessary to save Yousof’s injured arm.

The Guardian reported that the surviving family has since traveled to Rafah once again to await evacuation, during which they “had to carry a white piece of flag saying we are defeated” according to Abedalazeez. Yousof’s US citizenship allowed for Jamila and Jihan to travel to the USA in December after the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund offered to treat Jihan’s hand injuries at the Shriners hospital in Philadelphia. Abedalazeez and Yousef remained for now as the former is “afraid to travel without health insurance given the US healthcare system’s out-of-pocket costs.”

Airwars has matched Joud’s names with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of nearly 7000 victims’ names and ID numbers released on October 26th.

Where sources identified the belligerents all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.

Airwars assessment

On Wednesday October 18th 2023, the Israeli military allegedly bombed the Al-Bakri family home leading to at least 10 people being killed, including seven young children, and at least one person being injured. The home was in the vicinity of the European Hospital and a customs office in Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza strip.

A correspondent from Shehab Agency reported that a young man named Odai Bakri was injured and had been buried under rubble but survived the bombing and reported the death of his children and several family members in a video posted by Shehab Agency. Family member Talal Mujahid, reported in a post on Facebook that 11 people had been killed but listed 10 names, and almost all other sources reported there being 10 fatalities, whilst several users posted graphic and devastating photos of at least six very young children who had been killed.

A post by Talal Mujahid helped name the victims as a four-year-old boy called Hamada Jihad Hamada Bakri and his sisters, one-year-old Dyla Jihad Hamad Bakri and three-year-old Aleen Jihad Hamad Bakri. Another set of siblings, a one-year-old boy named Odai Adam Jamal Abo Al Naja and his brother Jamal Adam Jamal Abo Al Naja were also killed and multiple sources mention that their father had been killed at the beginning of the conflict. A two-year-old boy, Nabil Iyad Nabil Omran, and his sister, one-year-old Aseel Iyad Nabil Omran were also killed. A 59-year-old woman named Intisar Abdulrahman Bakri, a 24-year-old woman named Haneen Marwan Alyan Bakri and a one-year-old boy named Zaher Odai Hamada Bakri were also named as victims.

Multiple sources described Haneen as “Jihad’s wife” therefore she is likely the mother of Hamada, Dyla and Aleen. Zaher is likely to be the son of the injured victim, Odai Bakri, whose video was posted by Shehab Agency.

Twitter user @abrsbyl44221721 and the Wafi family’s Facebook page reported that the Director of the Gaza European Hospital, Dr Youssef Al-Akkad, called the event a massacre. Family members and others made heartfelt tributes to the victims on social media.

In a Facebook post, the Omran family reported that the incident had taken place without warning.

All names except Jamal Adam Jamal Al Naja have been matched with the Gaza Ministry of Health list of fatalities published on October 26, 2023, and any ages listed have been taken from the list.

Where sources identified a belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to the Israeli Military.

Airwars assessment

On Wednesday, October 18th 2023, an unknown number of civilians were killed and wounded in an alleged Israeli airstrike on a house near al-Hayek on al-Thalatheni street in central Gaza City.

Shehab Agency and Amad news reported on the strike, stating that there were a “number of martyrs and wounded” as a result of the bombing, with sources on social media echoing the same. Sources did not specify the exact number or details of civilians killed or wounded. In line with our methodology, Airwars has put the casualty range to at least two civilians killed and wounded, and will update this incident should more information come to light.

Only one unique source attributed the strike to Israeli forces, therefore Airwars has categorized the strike status as a single source claim.

Due to the scale and urgency of Airwars’ assessment process, all images have been automatically uploaded to each assessment with the graphic filter applied to protect users. We have also included all images identified from the sources, which may also include any imagery of combatants.

The local time of the incident is unknown.
